Behind The Scenes – Ameriprise Financial

We were recently contacted by Ameriprise Financial to do some corporate photos for their office in Langhorne, PA. What Ameriprise wanted was pretty much what 80% of our corporate clients need: an on location shoot, 5-15 employees shot individually, a group photo, and an overall efficient production so no one’s time was wasted.

After initially speaking with them and finding out what their needs were, we quoted them a competitive price for an on location shoot.  Most businesses try to shop around to a few photographers first, but that normally makes things more confusing from what we’ve been told after the fact. Our stance is this: if you like a photographer’s photos, hire them. Haggling over $5-10 a photo is a waste of time in the grand scheme of things. Afterall, you want great photos don’t you? In this case, Ameriprise were kind enough to hire us for the job after receiving another quote for 5x the amount of which we quoted them.

The shoot was a success, and after about an hour of their time we wrapped up and were on our way. Quick and efficient. About a day after they picked their favorite photos from the shoot, we retouched the photos and emailed them back. Our primary goal as a business is the quality of the photos, but right below that service is our dedication to quick turnaround.
